Description

The Deluxe Dog Palace is a rotationally molded plastic house. It is made from material that may be commonly found in out of doors play ground products. All panels of these products are filled with recycled ESP foam. ESP foam (expanded polystyrene) can also be commonly found in drinking cups. It is usually used as an insulation material in construction. To demonstrate the real value of insulation, we conducted an experiment on the Dog Palace with and without insulation. (Note: This product is only sold with insulation & door) The result of the experiment reflects the heat retention inside the Dog Palace the use of a common 100 watt light bulb (no other source of heat). At an out of doors temperature of 40° degrees the insulated Dog Palace will be 70° degrees inside at the same time as the Dog Palace without insulation will be approximately 45° degrees inside. At an out of doors temperature of 0° degrees the insulated Dog Palace will be 30° degrees inside at the same time as the Dog Palace without insulation will be approximately 4° degrees inside. An average dogs body heat will raise the temperature inside the Dog Palace 25° degrees in the winter without the floor heater, subsequently if the out of doors temperture is 25° degrees, with an average dog inside the Dog Palace the temperature is approximately 50° degrees.
